If hackers didn't exist we'd see games not only come out faster but server costs go down. Sony closed MGSO because one of the reasons was cost to do server repairs from hackers.

Whether it be stealing, or breaking things in the virtual world, the results are the same. To look the other way only invites costly problems.

breaking things in the virtual world you dumba** how are hackers and shoplifters the same
